Wrapping up a historical week for same-sex couples in New
Jersey, Jersey City's Pint bar will be hosting a "Big Gay Wedding
Reception" on Saturday at 5 p.m.

Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop conducted eight marriages at 12:01 a.m.
and other couples have been married across the county Monday, the first day that same-sex couples could legally wed in the state.

The reception, co-hosted by Gayborhood, which bills itself as Jersey City's
largest non-political gay social group, will extend the celebration at 34 Wayne
St.

Anyone who has been married, will be married or simply supports marriage equality is invited to attend.
Pint owner Wolf Sterling said the bar has a long history of
supporting the gay community by hosting and sponsoring events.

Sterling said the bar will be decked out with wedding reception decor, the staff will be in tuxedos and there
will be plenty of cake to go around.

To top off the night, the New Jersey Beer Company, based in North Bergen, will be
providing free drinks for new brides and grooms.

"It's really just a party for the community,"
Sterling said. "It's important to celebrate all these weddings that some
have waited decades for, and if they can't have their own, we'll throw it for
them."
